System and methods for wireless messaging

摘要

A technique for use in communicating data messages to a mobile device with use of a host service in a communication system is described. The host service connects with a service node for establishing and maintaining an IP connection between the host service and the service node. The host service receives a data message for the mobile device, and determines whether the mobile device is logged on. In response to determining that the mobile device is logged on, the host service sends the data message to the mobile device without aid of the service node. Otherwise, the host service creates an enable message which identifies the mobile device and includes a subset of the data message, and sends it to the service node over the IP connection for subsequent forwarding to the mobile device in a wireless network.

1. A method of communicating data messages to a mobile device with use of a host service, the method comprising:
connecting with a service node for establishing and maintaining an IP connection between the host service and the service node; receiving at the host service a data message for the mobile device; determining whether the mobile device is logged on with the host service in a data session; in response to determining that the mobile device is logged on with the host service in the data session, sending the data message to the mobile device in the data session without aid of the service node; otherwise, in response to determining that the mobile device is not logged on with the host service:
creating an enable message at the host service, the enable message identifying the mobile device and including a subset of the data message;sending the enable message to the service node over the IP connection, for subsequent forwarding to the mobile device in a wireless network; andsending the data message identified in the enable message to the mobile device, subsequent to the mobile device logging on with the host service.
